An
interesting case of a young boy staying in United States diagnosed with
Autism. This boy was very talented and he has exemplary skills in
playing the piano but was very hyperactive and the attention span was
very less. There was lack of comprehension, certain sensory issues,
putting the hands to the ears, arranging things in one order, lack of
eye contact were few of the major concerns.

The parents
were very co operative and they send us video clippings and we also had a
video chat to understand the case as they were separated by distance,
in such cases we take the help of modern technology which has been a
boon in building these gaps. They were also provided with the Dr.Joshi’s
specialized Homeopathic case taking format for Autism.

On
careful analysis and evaluation of the child following were the
characteristic symptoms that were taken into consideration for
treatment:

Sleep position: Knee chest position

Feels very hot want the Air conditioner on most of the times

Likes to keep himself uncovered even when it is very cold

Craving for Ice

Homeopathic Remedy given:

The child was prescribed Medorrihnum 200c one dose once in 15 days for 1 month was prescribed.

What we were able to achieve in this case:

The
child showed marked improvement in all the faculties, the child was
under our treatment for 2 years and he has recovered so much that he
tops the school and goes to a normal school with special attention is
provided to him. He has been playing his piano and has excelled in it.
We are very happy that with the right Homeopathic medicine we could
treat this child and bring the best in him.

Parent’s role
The
parents were extremely co operative in giving case history as per
Dr.Joshi’s specialized Homeopathic case taking format for Autism. This
helped us in finding the right Homeopathic remedy that suited the
child’s constitution. They also gave regular feedbacks and followed
Dr.Joshi’s Specialized Homeopathic Treatment process for Autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) as per the instructions.

A severe case of Autism( Case 2)

This
is a case of 11 years old girl who is a severe case of autism there is
absolutely no social interaction the child is lost in her own world. The
child is very close to nature and she is very comfortable when she is
out in the open .She will move around the park and will be very
peaceful. She also loves to be on swings and just loves the rocking
movement that is to and fro.

The main cause of concern in
this child was the severe head banging she would do when she didn’t get
what she wanted or it would be without any relevant cause. The head
banging was so severe that it used to cause swelling on the head.

There
was also a separation anxiety and she is very attached to her parents
and was also attached to a maid who unfortunately quit the job and this
had also led to lot of adjustment problems with the new maids. She used
to spit and bite the new maids as they didn’t understand what she
actually wanted.

The eating habits are also very poor she
takes selected food besides that she won’t take anything else. Adjusting
to a new place or a new person is also very problematic. She loves to
listen to music and will also hum few of the songs. Speech is limited to
very few words, and she follows few commands but this is also very
minimal.

Parent’s role
The
parents were very co operative in giving the complete case history
.They also gave regular feedback and followed Dr.Joshi’s Specialized
Homeopathic Treatment process for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as per
the instructions. This helped us in finding the right remedy that suited
the child.

Remedy given
The
remedy that was prescribed and which helped was Kali.carb it was given
in the 200c potency. After giving this the head banging has stopped. The
child is still under our treatment.

The Happy Child( Case 3 )

This
child was very cheerful when he came to our consultation he is a 3
years old boy. The parents consulted us after reading the article on how
homeopathy can help in Autism.

In this case the parents
were very anxious about what holds for the child in the future. They
wanted to know if their son will ever talk again as it was traumatic for
them to accept that a child who was talking suddenly stops speaking
anything.

The parents were even more worried after they
visited a therapist who just told them about autism without explaining
that there is always a future with therapy and treatment.

The
child was very hyperactive and was running from one corner to the other
constantly, there was minimal eye contact and he didn’t obey commands
at all. He also had the habit of spitting and playing with the spit,
there was no grip for holding a pen or pencil. The child had tremendous
fear of darkness; he also played with his genitals which used to cause
lot of embarrassment to the parents.

The
remedy that was prescribed was Strammonium LM 3 this was his
constitutional remedy we later followed it up with Bacillinum after few
months when there was no progress happening in the case

Parent’s role

The
parents are very understanding about what can be expected from
Dr.Joshi’s Specialized Homeopathic Treatment . They have accepted the
reality and are working on a realistic goal that will be the best thing
for the child. They are very regular in their follow ups and giving
feedback. They take the child regularly to the therapy school which is
doing a fantastic job.

What we were able to achieve in this case

There is marked improvement in the eye contact

The child follows most of the commands

The child can hold the pencil and write few alphabets

His babbling is getting converted into vocalization

He expresses his anger and happiness

He also shakes hands with us when he leaves the consultation room

In
the above case we were able to apply all the modalities in treating a
case. We are very happy to achieve he desired result and we are
confident that the child will improve further he is still under our
treatment.
